Short answer
Yes. Limpieza de Ductería, Climatiza’s technical service, reaches apartment buildings, hotels, shops and schools in El Cangrejo, about 3 km by road from its office. The management of each building sets the hours and access points together with the team before starting.
El Cangrejo, in the Bella Vista corregimiento, is bounded by Vía España and the Transístmica. It grew in the 1950s around a hill, with curving streets that follow the terrain, and today it mixes residential buildings, restaurants, hotels, shops and universities.
That mix shows in the ductwork. A low-rise apartment building with decades of use, a hotel and a ground-floor shop can stand a few steps apart and run very different systems. That is why a visit is planned building by building, making clear who manages each section. The area is about 3 km by road from the Climatiza office, in an approximate calculation.
Data point: In an air system that looked clean to the naked eye, 10⁵ to 10⁶ viable bacteria per cm² were counted on the coil fins (Hugenholtz and Fuerst, 1992). It is a case measured in a single system, not a general figure, which is why the camera looks inside before deciding.
| Building type | What is usually there | What is checked first |
|---|---|---|
| Low and mid-rise apartments | Dwellings with their own unit or a shared network, and common corridors | Age of the equipment and the grilles in the corridors |
| Ground-floor premises | Shops, cafés and small offices below the dwellings | Whether the premises have their own unit or use the building’s network |
| Hotels and restaurants | Lounges, guest rooms and dining rooms open extended hours | Humidity in the units and the diffusers where visitors notice the air first |
| Universities and schools | Classrooms, auditoriums and offices on term timetables | Which classrooms share a network and when they are free to enter |
01
First it is made clear who manages each section: the building, a shop or an institution.
02
The camera goes into each network separately, starting with the busiest areas.
03
A report for each building with photos, video and the points left without access.
Yes. Limpieza de Ductería, Climatiza’s technical service, reaches apartment buildings, hotels, shops and schools in El Cangrejo, about 3 km by road from its office. The management of each building sets the hours and access points together with the team before starting.
Common clues: a stale smell when the unit starts, dust around the grilles, complaints from several neighbors and rooms where the air arrives weaker. A pass with the camera checks it. There is no single date, because each building has systems of different ages.
It depends on who manages the section. If the shop has its own unit, it is agreed with the person in charge. If it shares a network with the building, the management is involved too. Before entering, it is settled who authorizes each part, and the report goes to each party.
Yes, with prior agreement. The visit is coordinated with the center’s technical or security team and with its timetable, so the work happens when classrooms and auditoriums are free. The camera first documents the condition of each network, and nothing is done without that agreement.
Existing conditions are looked at before any work (how it is done). For the neighborhood’s apartments and shops there are pages on condominium administrators and retail. All areas. The service is provided by Climatiza.
